Also identified as Minimal Venice, the island district of Bamberg has many dining establishments and bars that supply Franconian food stuff and smoked beer. Most dining places offer Franconian meals. We requested a dish of five types of sausage and a big part of Sauerkraut. And I was considerably disappointed since the renowned Blue Sausage was not part of it.

Perfectly, simply because of the farmer’s marketplace, we could barely noticed the historic buildings around but the neighborhood food sellers.
Industry sq.
Quite a few historic buildings are all over the marketplace square that leads to side streets. 1 aspect avenue sales opportunities to the castle sq., wherever we
did not see a soul all around. The castle square was impressive! The point out theatre (Landestheater) and Edinburgh Palace increase imposingly on one particular facet, and Ehrenburg Palace towers are on the other side with its impressive neo-Gothic sandstone facade.
Coburg fortress (Veste Coburg)

The walkway was protected by vibrant foliage reflecting the golden daylight, a common autumn surroundings!

Würzburg arrived to the Bamberg Itinerary mainly because we experienced to go it on the way to Frankfurt. Due to the fact we had only a handful of several hours, we only visited the Bavarian Condition Winery all through the small keep.
Right underneath the Würzburg Home, the Hofkeller (the Courtroom Cellar of the former Prince Bishop, currently the Royal Bavarian Court docket Cellar) is a labyrinthine cellar covering 4,557 m². Bavaria’s beer has quite a few types, and Bavarian occasions these as Oktoberfest make its beer entire world-well-known. For this reason, we are intrigued in being aware of why Würzburg, a huge Bavarian metropolis, has this kind of an fantastic wine cellar operated for above eight generations.
Our Hofkeller cellar tour lasts about 45 minutes. When it was wine-tasting time, I drank a glass of wine with out wondering of my empty stomach. So, I was dizzy afterward and hurried to the city centre in research of foods.
Just after two days of Franconian meals, we longed to have various delicacies. But it was a hard selection considering the fact that most of the eateries provide community food stuff. Eventually, we went to a backstreet and popped into an Italian cafe whose menu of the working day was mussels and French chips. When we saw its menu, we resolved on the seafood plate and salmon pasta, equally priced fairly.
